November 20th, 2006.

The very first day of feeling this new weird emotion that is ineffable.

my new xanga skin :)

finally i'm in Seoul. i got internet access a few days ago, and i finally write this here. the ùÊê that i go here is called SLI (Seoul Language Institute). i have to take tests everyday morning, supervisors divide them into levels according to the test result. i was in middle level before, but now i'm in the very top class. also, i got a new math teacher. she is really really really smart. i dont learn math in xueyuan. my teacher comes home, and then teaches me. the speed i'm learning here is much faster than learning the same material in Shanghai.

and, i almost decided to take IB diploma instead of 3 APs and 1 IB chinese.. doctor leung also said it's very fine to take ibs.

Watching worldcup in korea is SOOO fun! as many ppl know, thousands of koreans gather in front of the Seoul city hall, and support korean soccer team. i didn't go there for match w/ togo cuz it was tooo far away from my house. also during the match w/ france, i didn't go either cuz it was from 4 am to 6 am. my class starts at 7 am.. but for the next match which is against Switzerland, i might go and support shouting with other people. i want to have such experience.

Hey ASIANS! YOU ALL MUST SUPPORT KOREA! Korea is the only ASIAN team that won the very first match out of 4 Asian countries!!!! Especially some ahems!! Honestly, i didn't like when ahems support france and switzerland although they have no relation to those countries. (or not.. if ahems have..) but anyway, even if ahems do, korea is more associated i think. You guys must support Korea. it's not just the korean soccer team. it now represents the whole ASIA! DO NOT SUPPORT SWITZERLAND!!! YES YOU! DO NOT!
i'm not joking or it's not funny. actually, i really innerly disliked when some people took a very scorning, contempting, despising or disdaining attitude toward korean soccer team. i know some of you are not Koreans, but please do not take such attitude. i didn't express this immediately when some did that, but now i do. Please consider how you would feel if you hear the same thing or if you were i. Again, PLEASE consider how other ppl will feel before you say something.

Finally, all exams done!!

this exam week was really hard, but i feel like it went really fast.
i don't take precalc so, i don't have an exam on monday.. so, for me ( and jm and tj cuz their math is also done) all exams are finally done..

these days, i played soccer a lot, and i am really black now cuz i got tanned.. -_-;;

i checked my next year's schedule:

A: Band ONE w/ PEK
B: AP Calc w/ Compton
C: AP Bio w/ Linzel
D: AP Econ w/ a new teacher (i forgot the name)
E: AP Flex
F: IB Chinese BSL w/ Yang
G: Eng 11/ Know the medium w/ Doleman & Kidd
H: Chem w/ a new teacher (i forgot the name)

i'm gonna die for ap bio... my mom wants me to take gen physics instead of bio... i don't know.. i might do so cuz it's better to get a good grade than getting a bad grade in LINZEL's class...

anyway.. i am finally free now.. i'm going to pudong campus to visit on next monday :) while all other ppl are taking math exams.. haha.. and, party on wed (sleepover)-> thurs (sleepover) -> fri (done)..
but i'm only staying on wed and thurs.

then, the next day, i go to Korea!! yay!
but i 'm gonna die in Korea again because my father got me do A LOT during the summer..

i have to finish 
1) AP Calc AB this summer,
2) some preview on AP Bio (not the handout.. class in ùÊêÂ,
3) and the handout that linzel gave me,
4) read 5 really thick and hard books,
5) more Chinese,
6) Korean Math Course 1 much harder (currently finished this course)
7) Korean Math Course 2 finish (finished 1/4 of this course in KA)
8) and what else.. i don't remember.. but there are more,,,

Have a "great" summer people~! (like i do...)

GOOD LUCK ON AP EXAMS!!!!

i took AP Stats exam today, and did really not very good... zen me ban.. it was so hard.. the last free response question was totally a disaster. i did only first half section, and couldn't understand the rest part. T.T

And, there is another AP Music theroy exam tmr, and i'm quite ready for it.. :) i got 5 on the mock exam..
i did pretty well on MC part which i thought i did bad, and i did bad (i mean it was still ok) on free response which i thought i did bad. -_-;;;  
but free repose is easier than MC and, it weighs more so, i'll do fine, i hope.

i updated finally again.. i feel like i don't use this very often..  but i change my music often. :) it's all Yiruma's music,, so goooood. i love Yiruma. and he's a Korean new-age composer. so good so good
